Meet 18-year-old Diwakar Vaish. This youngster apart from others his age is his undeniable talent in the still-nascent field of robotics in India. He has created four humanoid robots (designed, created and programmed by him) that possess much of the physical functionality a human body does, and one -- Robot Isotope -- that can even do the Bhangra.
An admitted techno-freak, Diwakar spent much of his school years participating in tech competitions, and winning most. But what gave him the boost he needed was winning at Quanta, an international competition for robotics held in Lucknow in 2009, for which he created a race boat that beat out competition from 40 countries.

He is a billionaire’s boy with serious ambition. Charming, articulate and handsome, with round brown eyes that mask a degree of calculation, he is already seen as likely successor to his father Lakshmi at the steel giant they created two years ago by merging their family-controlled firm with European rival Arcelor.
For others in the steel industry, he has been a surprise. Travelling side-by-side with his father for the past decade, he has kept his head down, worked the deals, brushed off the accusations of nepotism and helped drive the expansion that has left the Mittals’ rivals in their wake.That combined entity, Arcelor Mittal, in which the Mittal family owns a 45% stake, is now the biggest steel group in the world. And Aditya, trained at Wharton Business School and Credit Suisse First Boston in New York, sits as finance director, head of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and management-board member responsible for flat-steel products, Americas.

Tongas have been an integral part of Delhi since the 18th century when the Mughal empire was at the height of its glory. While the mighty emperors, princes and princesses traveled in elaborately decorated carriages, the members of the middle-class trotted in the humbler horse-pulled baggas.
By the time the British colonialists strengthened their hold in the country, the tongas had become the lifeline of the capital city. The advent of automobiles on Delhi's swanky roads failed to dampen the business of the horse-driven carriages, which continued to enjoy mass popularity in the serpentine lanes of old Delhi. The charming carriages are a relatively cheaper and interesting way of traveling between popular attractions like Jama Masjid, Red Fort and Cannaught Place.
